A Clinical Frailty Scale é uma escala válida, confiável e prática para predizer desfechos desfavoráveis em idosos atendidos no Serviço Hospitalar de Emergência. Sua utilização para estratificar o grau de fragilidade em idosos pode auxiliar na tomada de decisões e reduzir a incerteza prognóstica.

Frailty is a condition associated with ageing, and it has been recognized for centuries. It is a marker of a more widespread syndrome of frailty, with associated weakness, slowing, decreased energy, lower activity, and, when severe, unintended weight loss.
Frailty is a complex age-related clinical condition characterised by a decline in physiological capacity across several organ systems, with a resultant increased susceptibility to stressors. Because of the heterogeneity of frailty in clinical presentation, it is important to have effective strategies for the delivery of care that range across ...
